Street Takeovers, Which Generation Land Cruiser Should You Buy? Doug DeMuro Q&A! THIS CAR POD! EP10

[@ImpendingDisaster26]

Filippo represents the everyday car enthusiasts, he’s a staple to the podcast

[@Jacobk66]

Filippo is the only “realistic” enthusiast on anymore. Others have or have had Ferraris/Porsche Carrera GTs/Lambos then there’s Filippo struggling to find a reason to get his dream $40,000 car, a Corvette C7.

[@brendan7632]

Yep Filippo is the only one I can relate to. Makes this much more enjoyable. I really dont give a damn about Koenigsegggggg

[@clothestravel]

Agree. I still wonder where Kennan gets the money to drop six figures on a car. It sounds like he’s from a middle class family and he was never famous on KZbin (that I’m aware of). I think his title is managing editor at cars and bids. I wouldn’t think that would command a high enough salary to afford the cars he wants to buy.

[@brendan7632]

@@clothestravel well he can justify for “content” purposes. So I’m sure that a factor

[@cyjanek7818]

​@@clothestravelWe don't know how much he put in to create that bussines but also I wouldn't be surprised if he made some not safe financial decision to buy car he likes. It seems like something he would do, just like Doug with his Ferrari

[@Tempsho]

Fillipo is the best!

Filippo is annoying, it's a car podcast where alot of people like exotic or rare cars and he just like idc about them! A true car enthusiasts likes all cars regardless if u can afford them or not

Doug: “I’m not a Porsche guy.” Also Doug: owned 2 Porsches, worked for Porsche, had 5 Porsche company cars, owned a Mercedes and Audi made by Porsche, calls the Porsche Carrera GT the greatest driving car ever made and HAD HIS WEDDING RINGS mounted to a toy Porsche Carrera GT

[@DougDeMuro]

I love the Carrera GT *individually*, but I am not a Porsche guy. I have owned only two Porsches, one for just a few months. I have owned seven Mercedes-Benzes!

[@jasonknight5863]

Haha when you put it like that he is a closet Porsche lover. Nothing wrong with that. I’m a Porsche lover and only have one a low mile 928 among many other brands. I think you can love various brands. I love older pre 2002’ year Mercedes. I have had 6 and currently own 3 of those low mile ones. A 95’ E320 sedan, a 95’ E320 Station Wagon, and a 99’ SL 500 and will be buried with these. I absolutely love how simple, comfortable, practical. Luxurious and pretty cheap they are to run. . They are the best cars ever made ( W124, S124 and W129) 🥰 W210 are nice and drive great my mom had one. But the quality was lacking (compared with it’s predecessor, and had that ugly round fugly front end. Like Doug said the AMG engine on those are wonderful.

The 202 AMG wagon actually came in C55 form with that engine already installed. As few as 8 were ever built, because you had to buy a $60k C43 wagon and pay another $40k to have it converted and a new VIN created. The 202 C55 was probably faster than the e39 M5 but was so rare and unmentioned no one ever tested it.

Great question. Tough choice between headlights, mirrors, chicken tax (small trucks would be amazing), and the corporate gas mile standards from 2008 are what ruined cars and moved us to SUVs and crossovers.

[@chartreux1532]

As a German, regarding Italian Cars opening up sound-wise at lower Speed and German Cars at higher Speed is something i never thought about. Why? Because we got the Autobahn here, so i automatically think of "opening up" when i go on the Autobahn. I can see it being annoying if you can't fully open up (at least legally) but maybe German Cars do that later because it has the Autobahn in Mind and didn't think of Countries with Speed Limits. But that's just a Guess since i never thought about it. Though i must also add that there are German Cars who do that, but not that many Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

I've got a 70 series V8 single cab LandCruiser ute (Aussie) and although it's a beast... I don't love it. I have it because I really need it and it does fill a role that not many other vehicles could get done with such ease. But it hasn't always been the most reliable thing, we've had a few very expensive repairs over the five years I've owned it (despite being exceptionally well looked after) and God damn is she thirsty when you ask her to work. I wouldn't recommend the diesel V8 unless you really need it, they're super expensive to buy and to run and it's my least favourite vehicle to drive... Unless I'm going somewhere that I really have to take the 'Cruiser, well I don't. I could sell it if I didn't need it. I love my 2000 AU Falcon ute though. Bought her for $5000 as a stop gap "get me to work" car. She's done 530,000ks and considering I do work her pretty hard, she still runs like a clock. It's the most reliable car I've ever had, it's so comfortable to drive on the road and I use it to tow all the time. I'm never gonna sell it, it's an ex government "poverty pack" fleet vehicle and I never expected to love it so much. I wanna do a 10 second sleeper turbo build, keeping the plastic roo bar, povo pack interior and canopy, but build the intech to 400kw+. It's funny how certain cars can worm their way into your heart and you end up becoming attached to them. I love that cheap old Falcon, I don't need it anymore, but I'll never sell it. The LandCruiser though, well I do need it... But it's never made me love it.

[@costafilh0]

Doug should just buy the 575M Maranello Manual already! JUST DO IT!

[@AHYL88]

Thing is with the Mini John Cooper Works GP cars, the first and second gen cars were great because they were focussed on what they were trying to achieve and were successful at it; the third one tried to follow the same formula but had a very mixed result and lot of issues. The biggest issue was, like the Nissan Z Nismo, it was auto only and due to that, it was still really quite heavy for what it is; granted it was a good amount lighter than a normal Mini JCW by 70kgs, but it was only 6kgs lighter than a Ford Fiesta ST and only 25kgs lighter than the Toyota GR Yaris which has four-wheel drive. And both are decked out with all the seats and stuff in place, some of which are removed from the Mini. It was also more expensive than either cars; yes it was faster but not by a dramatic amount, especially next to the GR Yaris which was effectively its closest rival in terms of power, performance and pricing.

[@lowtdave]

We had that series land cruiser in Iraq. Up-armored but same vehicle. Loved it. But, i had the opportunity to ride in up-armored G-Wagons on a few occasions. The wagon was amazing

[@martinrosenberg2370]

My first “fun” car was a G37 IPL. Nobody knows these exist but they’re pretty cool. I will correct the misconception that they are reliable though. Nissan products are not good. My slave cylinder broke twice, my transmission needed a replacement, and my valve covers needed work. I owned the car for one year. Replaced it with an E92 M3 that has been much more reliable.

The Landcruiser you should have never sold is a 105 1HZ with an aftermarket intercooled turbo 80 series rebuild, GXL. 1998 model. With an automatic...it was ridiculously rare. America never got the live axle 100 series, and in Australia it was Abalone divers bought them, as soon as the 100 series came out. They didn't keep the Turbo Diesel 6 cylinder....until it got Torsion bar front end. As soon as Safari brought out a Turbo that backed the warranty....then Abalone Diver's bought them. I had 1 of 3 vehicles in the state...if I'd known what it would be now I wouldn't have used a crowbar to "undent" the passenger side (78%) or sitting in the water being one of 3 in the state, climbing out the sunroof because it was a GXL....America never got the best model..
